Steelers vs 49ers, Game 14, 12/19/2011, 8:30pm

Steelers vs 49ers
Monday Night Football
8:30pm EST

The Steelers travel to the west coast to play San Francisco in a pivotal matchup that the Steelers need to win to keep pace in the AFC North and still have an outside chance at taking the division title.

The 49ers are coming off a stunning loss to the Cardinals on Sunday and will certainly not be in a good mood heading into the prime time matchup with our Steelers.

As of early this week there are no new updates on the status of key players like Ben Roethlisberger, Lamarr Woodley, Emmanuel Sanders, Maurkice Pouncey, & Ziggy Hood.

Roethlisberger and Pouncey both have high ankle sprains; Hood has a groin injury, and Emmanuel Sanders' bothersome foot still is giving him issues.

Not looking good for Sanders this week, he's doubtful last I heard. That means Wallace, Brown, and Heath Miller are going to have to step up. Look for Cotchery to be a good safety valve for Ben or Charlie as well.

Woodley is not listed on the injury report so he's going to start.

Pouncey is still questionable but says he plans on playing.

Essex will start at LG if Pouncey can't go, putting Legursky back at Center.
